Yankees' Austin Wells: X-rays negative on hand
Manager Aaron Boone said Wells, who is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, had X-rays on his hand come back negative, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The 25-year-old is dealing with some soreness after being hit by a pitch in Monday's contest, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The Yankees have a team day off Thursday, so the club could keep Wells on the bench again Wednesday to provide him three straight days to recover from the injury.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: On bench Tuesday
Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
The 33-year-old served as Tampa Bay's designated hitter the past two games after sitting out Saturday due to a knee issue. It hasn't been reported that Diaz has suffered a setback, but it's possible his knee still isn't 100 percent. Jonathan Aranda is receiving a start at first base Tuesday for the Rays.

Siri (personal) is starting in center field and batting ninth Tuesday against the Twins.
Siri wasn't with the Rays for Monday's contest as he tended to a personal issue, but he's back with the team and is in the lineup for Tuesday's game. The 29-year-old hasn't had much success at the plate since the start of August and has a .169/.229/.323 slash line and 45.7 percent strikeout rate in his past 21 games.

Tyler Mahle SP | ATL
Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Won't return in 2024
Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Mahle (shoulder) will not make another start this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Mahle landed on the injured list Aug. 20 due to stiffness in his right shoulder, but there doesn't seem to be enough time left in the regular season for him to build back up. The 29-year-old right-hander will continue to play catch, however, so he's not being shut down entirely. He'll finish the year with seven earned runs allowed over 12.2 innings across only three starts, as he missed the first half of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Jon Gray SP | TEX
Rangers' Jon Gray: Done for season with foot injury
Gray will be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to neuroma in his foot, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
It's not clear when Gray's foot began bothering him, but he had coughed up 11 runs over 6.2 innings covering his last two starts. The veteran right-hander will finish with just 17.1 innings in the second half due to groin and foot problems. Gray had been slated to start Thursday against the Angels, but Jose Urena is now likely to take the ball for the Rangers that day.
